[Q] How did you begin?

"How did you begin?"
A question that is in every Begginer mind like me...
it makes every one wonder very much like:
-How can I design my own custom rom?
-How can I start developing android apps?
So please every developer or an experienced android developer reply writing a way to start or begin something like this..
Thanks in advance for any help..

there are many guides on this forum that teach you how to start creating your own roms , especially for android. I believe most people start by taking a base rooted rom, and tweaking it with different mods to make it their own. In fact many of the "developers" here do just that. Take a base and mod it, or take someone elses base, like CM7 and start playing with it. Look around...

I suggest the same. Just take a base rom and extract it. Have a look at the source and try a few tweaks, add some apps to your rom, try to insert a new theme. Just play around a bit. You will face some "problems" which can be solved by using google. That is called learning I guess
App development: Start learning java and then download eclipse with android sdk and launch your first emulator.
And always have fun with android!

[Q] Are there any guides on creating a custom rom?

I am curious if there are any guides or threads to create a custom rom and to make it more complicated on a Sensation 4G where they have Sense destroying the phone lol.
I am using a custom rom that I love Prime™ by thelegendarylegends and don't intend on leaving that though I would like to gain the skills to assist in furthering his development and just to gain the know how and experience with such processes.
As I would like to learn this I intend on also move into theme patches for the rom (which will most likely become almost universal themes) the themes would be for more then just google apps too as I want to re theme entire roms from the base.
(I understand that there is more involved then just changing png's and that .9's are able to be irritating)
Or is creating a custom rom at first based on see what you can remove while keeping the rom stable and replacing apk's with AOSP apk's again while trying to keep it stable...
Sorry as this has turned into much more then one question but any and all help is appreciated (I do know about and how to sign APK's atleast )

How to compile Android AOSP for the One S?

Question, I am getting the One S eventually and I want to just have Android AOSP on it for now. But I reckon there's more to the process than simply compiling it from source. What device specific challenges must I figure out first? Ive got plenty of experience with Android development but I havent really messed around with device specific stuff.. Any help much appreciated

Thread moved with a clean start
Or find answer here

[Completed] what specifics per device are needed to "match" roms to attempt a port

I'm pretty new at all this buy the basics of installing already made roms I get my question is when attempting to create new custom roms what information about the device say (cpu, gpu, modem, kernal, etc) need to match up to attempt using or moding those said parts of the dev process in order to build a working tree. Continued below Sidenote........
Sidenote : idk if the terms I used were correct in there placement or meaning but I feel that any who will reply to this thread probably grasp what I'm getting at.
So essentially what I'm attempting to do is figure out what things to change and how to change them in order to figure out what goes into building a rom or the favorable option that I'm shooting for is what to look for to attempt to match up a already built custom rom from another device I need little to no changes in order to use on my device's, reason being, both devices I am currently woking on, which are a Samsung Galaxy Core Prime sm-g360t and a HTC Desire 626s, do not have a official or even, to my knowledge, have an official CM and honestly besides one,the HTC which I have TWRP and it's running now off the AdvancedStock rom I found on this site and it keeps wanting to break or just doesn't work the way I want .
ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED

How can i get started on android custom ROM and kernel development

Hello i have been a long time user of XDA and been installing custom ROMs and mods on all devices i owned and even few devices of my friends. I was amazed how developers make amazing ROMs and kernels for us which work even better than stock almost all the time. I am a college student with a fair bit of programming and linux knowledge but never got around to android development (except making apps which i have done). Can anyone suggest how can I start developing or from where do I start (the little bits) ? I currently own poco x2 and mi A1. Or if there's a good guide to it can anyone link it ? If the developers of Poco x2/k 30 can help guide me to the path of developing it would be amazing.
Thank you in advance ?.

I am no expert on this subject (am ok at searches and found this), may be these are good steps to start:
1. XDA resource - https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-how-to-build-custom-roms-kernel-t3814251
2. Pray , so that more devs will join with you on custom dev for this device.
Edit: BTW, am already praying since we have been able to unlock bootloader.

check here: its already started
collab with others who are already onboard
